THE PLANETS IN JUNE.

Some Points About Them Unknown {
the Regular Astronomers.
Saturn is gradually retiring into innocuou
desuetude. He was q bright star in May
but became discouraged toward the end Q
the month for two reasons
First. Because the managers refused L
raise his salary.
Second. Because of the result of that affai
with Venus on the 30th.
Saturn had long been worshiper of tina
fair and tickle star, and the friends of boil
parties confidently expected that they woult
be married on the day named. Indeed, in
vitations had been issued for the "conjunc
ton" of the two, and everything was read,
at the appointed time except the bride. tn,
expectant groom had brought ring with
him, in readiness for the ceremony, but a,
the last moment Venus broke Off the en-
gagement, and positively refused to be mar
ried. It is believed that she was disappointed
in not receiving her wedding dress in time.
1t is no wonder that Saturn feels discour.
aged, and has resolved to leave the stage 70,
an extended vacation.
Venus does not seem to be seriously At.
fected, though. She IL playing to full houses,
which accounts for her brightness. No star
can look bright when business il poor. She
is keeping good hours, too, persistently 70
fusing all invitations to supp0 after the play,
and retiring every night before eleven
o'clock.
Jupiter Il at his old designations. He ID
never seen on the streets in the day time,
but leaves his hotel every night about nine
O'Clock, and he has not been known to re-
turn before two in the morning for month.
It has several times been four O. clock before
his night key was heard in the lock. Unfor-
tunately, Jupiter does not go ON these sprees
alone. He has had Spica, Arcturus and Reg
ulus With him lately, and the friends Of
these stars are seriously alarmed at his in.
Auence and think Of Offering them Q Murphy
pledge for signature.
Neptune Il evidently reforming. In May
he was out al night seven times q week, but
he has quit this and gone to work. To make
up for Lost time he now rises at four in the
morning, gsts an early breakfast and then
attends strictly to budness. z

The Intelligence OF Birds.

had built their nests, causing the foliage
to shrivel. exposing their nests, although
they had laid their eggs they would aban-
don them; but if the nests already con-
tanned young birds, Notwithstanding the
exposure, they would remain until the
young were able to fly. He placed num-
ber of pieces of woolen yarn-red, yellow,
purple, green and gray in color-near a
tree in which couple Of Baltimore ori-
oles were building nest. The pieces of
warn were all exactly alike except in color
There was an equal number Of each color.
and the red and yellow were purposely
placed on the top. The birds chose only
the gray pieces, putting in a few purple
and blue ones when the nest was nearly
finished. Not red. yellow or green
strand was used.-Chicago News.

The early use Of aluminium was not
satisfactory, rs the metal was impure,
owing to the presence of iron, and it soon
succumbed to the fluids of the mouth
This was more generally true of cast
plates, which were not only more difficult
to make, but were not as good. The
metal is not very easy 10 cast, as it does
not flow freely like other metals, and
the contraction is considerable, causing
cracked blocks. When made from rolled
plate and pure metal. aluminium for upper
cases has proved very satisfactory in my
hands, and not being very expensive is a
recommendation, As it is a metal, and is
thus better than rubber and less in cost
